I'm driving myself nuts and need to get this done. My tires are shot, but I can't decide what wheels I like the best. My goal is a somewhat subtle wheel because all I am trying to do is get to a 8 to 9" wheel over the stock 7's. Since I'm not lifting it (it's got v codes) I have to be careful and while I think 18" would be fine and look good too, I'm going to stick with a 16" for cost reasons. If I ever decide to banish it from the garage, I'll lift it.

Until then, any idea's are welcome, but here are a couple on the short list. Tires will either be Terra Grapplers od Destination AT's. The TG's I think will look better on one that the other, and on either will be fine. The Destinations may not look as good, but I know they're perform and wear as good or better than the TG's.

These are the right size 16x8 (although I'd prefer to go 8.5 or 9) and backspace, but obviously not 8 lug, and the tires are close enough for a good idea; I'll be running a 285's. One doens't have the cap or lugs. I actually like the MB cap better since it mounts from the outside vs pull thru and looks better too.

I like the fist set of rims, and i like nitto....i think they make good tires...thats wat i run on my trucks....

Those are MB Torque's and the 2nd set are Ultra 5051's. I wasn't interested in the Torques at all until I came across that picture of a 16" wheel and saw how short and almost non-spoke like they were. I liked the Ultra's just because they're closer to OEM's but they have that '73 Camero 60's on rear and '70's on front look from my HS days. Might be a little to subtle and old school but my 13 yr old daughter picked them.

I agree about the TG's and is what I think the Torque's wold look best with. It's makes it easy since DT would get to sell me the whole deal, and supposedly they can cut some sweet deals on the 16" Torque.....we'll see.

Thanks for the opinion. This is what I need to get may a$$ to get it done.
